The Company and Sellers shall not take or allow any action that would result in the termination of the Company’s status as a validly electing S corporation within the meaning of Code § 1361 and § 1362.

Change in Status If your role within the Company changes during the Performance Cycle such that you would no longer be eligible to receive Growth Plan Units, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if no such change had occurred.
Status under Certain Statutes Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, as amended, the ICC Termination Act of 1995, as amended, or the Federal Power Act, as amended.
COOPERATION IN PREPARATION OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT The COMPANY and STOCKHOLDERS shall furnish or cause to be furnished to VPI and the Underwriters all of the information concerning the COMPANY and the STOCKHOLDERS required for inclusion in, and will cooperate with VPI and the Underwriters in the preparation of, the Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein (including audited and unaudited financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in form suitable for inclusion in the Registration Statement). The COMPANY and the STOCKHOLDERS agree promptly to advise VPI if, at any time during the period in which a prospectus relating to the offering is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, any information contained in the prospectus concerning the COMPANY or the STOCKHOLDERS becomes incorrect or incomplete in any material respect, and to provide the information needed to correct such inaccuracy. VPI will give the COMPANY and the STOCKHOLDERS an opportunity and a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on a substantially final draft of the Registration Statement prior to filing, and with respect to all amendments thereto, VPI will give the COMPANY and STOCKHOLDERS an opportunity to review and comment on those portions of such amendments that relate to the COMPANY. Insofar as the information contained in the Registration Statement relates solely to the COMPANY or the STOCKHOLDERS, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement the COMPANY represents and warrants as to such information with respect to itself, and each STOCKHOLDER represents and warrants, as to such information with respect to the COMPANY and himself or herself, that the Registration Statement will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading and that the STOCKHOLDERS and the COMPANY have had the opportunity to review and approve such information. If, prior to the 25th day after the date of the final prospectus of VPI utilized in connection with the IPO, the COMPANY or the STOCKHOLDERS become aware of any fact or circumstance which would change (or, if after the Closing Date, would have changed) a representation or warranty of the COMPANY or the STOCKHOLDERS in this Agreement or would affect any document delivered pursuant hereto in any material respect, the COMPANY and the STOCKHOLDERS shall immediately give notice of such fact or circumstance to VPI. However, subject to the provisions of Section 7.8, such notification shall not relieve either the COMPANY or the STOCKHOLDERS of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.8, at the sole option of VPI, the truth and accuracy of any and all warranties and representations of the COMPANY, or on behalf of the COMPANY and of STOCKHOLDERS at the date of this Agreement and on the Pre-Closing Date and on the Closing Date, contained in this Agreement (including the Schedules and Annexes hereto) shall be a precondition to the consummation of this transaction.
Renewal of Registration Statement The date of this Agreement is not more than three years subsequent to the initial effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Renewal Date”). If, immediately prior to the Renewal Date, this Agreement has not terminated and a prospectus is required to be delivered or made available by the Manager under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act in connection with the sale of such Securities, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Date, file, if it has not already done so, a new shelf registration statement or, if applicable, an automatic shelf registration statement relating to such Securities, and, if such registration statement is not an automatic shelf registration statement, will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Date, and will take all other reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to permit the public offer and sale of such Securities to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to such Securities. References herein to the “Registration Statement” shall include such new shelf registration statement or automatic shelf registration statement, as the case may be.
Foreign Status If the Authorized Participant is offering and selling Shares in jurisdictions outside the several states, territories and possessions of the United States and is not otherwise required to be registered, qualified, or a member of FINRA as set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Authorized Participant nevertheless agrees to observe the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made and to conduct its business in accordance with the FINRA Conduct Rules, to the extent the foregoing relates to the Authorized Participant’s transactions in, and activities with respect to, Shares.
WKSI Status (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption in Rule 163, and (D) at the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (D)), the Company was or is (as the case may be) a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405.
Preparation of Registration Statement The parties hereto shall jointly prepare as promptly as practicable a proxy statement to be mailed to the stockholders of Seller who are to vote upon this Agreement and the Parent Merger Documents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and to be part of the Registration Statement to be filed by Acquiror with the Commission pursuant to the 1933 Act with respect to the shares to be issued in connection with the Mergers. When the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto shall become effective, and at all times subsequent to such effectiveness, up to and including the time of the last stockholder meeting with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, such Registration Statement and all amendments or supplements thereto, with respect to all information set forth therein furnished or to be furnished by Acquiror and Acquiror Sub relating to Acquiror and Acquiror Sub and by Seller and Seller Subsidiary relating to Seller and the Seller Subsidiary, (i) will comply in all material respects with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and (ii) will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. Acquiror will advise Seller promptly after it receives notice thereof of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment thereto has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order, of the suspension of the qualification of the Acquiror Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or for additional information.
